Found Tanknet through knowing someone who helps run the joint.

Lurked at first then started posting eventually. King Sargent set me

up and got me in trouble for yappiness so's I had to be reprimanded

and made to behave in this thread

 

Comments: This is an amazing place, with amazing people, and an amazing education about all sorts of amazing things, military and non-miltary. I'm hooked

I hate the destructiveness of war but am very pro Soldier, especially when they have to go off to war for the rest of us, risking and often sacrifing it all. I know who to be grateful to and who to appreciate for my life and lifestyles.
